Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

New Patient
Dr. Adelstein was very friendly and personable. She gave me several treatment options to choose from regarding my condition . I felt great when she was not pushy about what she thinks is the best treatment for me. In the end Dr. Adelstein respected my choice of treatment and suggested I try an OTC medication which worked well with me and I’ve been taking it and helped me a lot! From now on I’ll keep on seeing her because I know and believe she knows what’s best for me.

SHE'S FULL OF HERSELF!
WORST doctor EVER!!! IF the shoe was on the other foot, she wouldn't have let herself go through the PAIN & AGONY she let me SUFFER through! I had a SEVERE UTI with E.Coli, a cyst bigger than my fist in my kidney pushing on other organs causing back spasms & sleepless nights!!!! At my office visit(Tues.) she did an exam. Results of cultures were not posted for over a month later!!! I texted my urgency & was told I needed an ultrasound & given the acceptable locations to make an appointment. I chose whomever could get me in the soonest.. I called & left messages w/her about my pain, but received no return calls. I texted through the patient portal w/the same results. I was in agony! I began to go through my cabinet looking for the last prescription given to me that actually worked & found a few pills left! T.G!!! Monday, her P.A. called with a common med. that NEVER works. I told her that & research even backs me up!!! But NO! It was that or nothing! Guess what? I'LL NEVER PUT MY LIFE

DON'T TRUST HER!!!! – Jun 14, 2023
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Adelstein?
Very disappointed
I would not recommend Dr. Adelstein. She did not listen to my concerns. I was in extreme pain and did not order or complete any further imaging test or any tests for that matter to see what was occurring. She just made assumptions instead of getting to the root of the cause. She sent me home with physical therapy sessions and a misdiagnosis of overreactive bladder. 2 days later I was in so much pain I ended up in ER to find out I had a kidney stone. Very disappointed in this physicians approach.

Superhero Dr
Was diagnosed with Cauda equina syndrome back in 2017. Dr.Adelstein has Took great care of me. Honestly, wouldn’t want no other urologist. So polite , very well mannered. Being a male I don’t feel uncomfortable with her. Her knowledge has helped greatly for a person in my shoes. Truly honest Doctor even if her job is on the line, she’ll still write down the facts. Hard to find great doctors like her. Very rare breed of doctors !!

I have been a patient since earlier this year I believe Dr.Sarah Adelstein has compassion for her patients and in my case exhausted all procedures before setting up a creation ideal urinary diversion for early November she doesn't rush her patients made sure I understood everything and said to call if I think of any Dr. Edelstein is a great asset to the Rush Family!
